KRIS CARROLL OPENS MATTIX SALMON MEMORIAL WEEKEND AT DELTA IN VICTORY LANE

STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA (May 30, 2026) – Oklahoma visitor Kris Carroll made his mark on Stockton’s Delta Speedway on Friday night, sweeping both of his heat races and the 30-lap feature for the Mattix Salmon Memorial preliminary win. 67 Non-Wing Micro Sprints hit the speedway, racing towards Saturday’s $10,555 to win feature in honor of Mattix Salmon.

Carroll celebrated the win in victory lane with his family.

“That thing was hooked up,” Carroll said. “We’ve had a lot of fun this week. Left from Tulsa on Saturday and took the kids to see the Grand Canyon and all that fun stuff on the way here. I didn’t know Mattix but I’m really happy to be here. Everybody I talk to says he was a good dude.”

The Non-Wing action was spread across dual heat races with a total of 14 heat races held. The second set of heat races was inverted, which did not deter Carroll from winning anyway. Manteca’s TK O’Brien also won both of his heat races. Both Carroll and O’Brien race with the No. 5 and shared the front row for the feature in honor of Salmon, who raced as the No. 5 throughout his career.

Carroll swept around the outside of O’Brien at the start of the feature and never relinquished it, rolling the bottom to victory. The race’s biggest moment came on lap seven when Alex Panella of Stockton flipped violently side over side but emerged from his vehicle unscathed. O’Brien tried to make the top shelf work but settled for second. Fresno’s Colton Key, Oklahoma’s Cole Roberts, and Kerman’s Eric Botelho rounded out the top-five.

Illinois visitor Braxton Flatt won the Non-Wing Restricted feature with an outstanding 27 entries on hand. Tyce Domingos finished second followed by Myles Boertje, Cash Brooks, and Lee Uzzell.

The Jr. Sprints raced wingless as well with Uzzell scoring the victory. Huxcen Roush, Lucas Fenn, Logan Fenn, and Casen Key were the balance of the top-five finishers.

Saturday’s activities kick off with the drivers meeting at 5:30pm before teams race towards the lucrative five figure payday in honor of Mattix Salmon.

Total awards will be over $50,000 for the two-nights of action at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds. Event merchandise will also be available at the event.
